starting to surf-a bunch of quests

Hi everybody.. Im currently in NYC and flying to San Diego, CA soon to take some surfing lessons, its time to go for the old dreams... Just have a couple of questions, I'd love to get answers from you: Do you have any idea if its not too cold to surf in November in CA? How much time is needed to learn the basics - that i will be able to surf by myself since then.. a few days? a week? how much lessons would u recommend that I take? Any tips? Thanks

After I wrote guy 65 I reazlized it's 56 I was just tired I started the thread at 1.47 at night and didnt sleep the whole night.. byw I'm a girl not a guy, and I speak Hebrew Im just traveling in the US for a few moths.. and finally you express yourrself very well in English )

well since your a girl I"ll help

you

I have surfed alot of times in california but not even once in sun diego, but it is the same ocean, (I have surfed only in malibo and marina dell rey in LA). the water in very cold , in the summer it is as cold as in israel at winter. If you"ll get a good wetsuite then there sould'nt be any problam with that. the only thing you sould worry about is the hight of the waves as they are very big and very strong, you cannot even compare it to israel. so in this case I recoomad you sould start only with a big fun board, and about 5- 10 lessons, remmember the waves there are big so get ready to drink and breath alot of water. have great time!!!!!!!!!!!

so typical

as soon as someone figures out the person who's talking is a girl, the answer just start flooding in Anyways, I haven't surfed anywhere outside Israel, but from surf videos and surf magazines I kinda figured the water there are pretty cold. Wetsuit is a must. What do you mean by "traveling"? You're from Israel? The reason I'm asking is that if you are coming back here, you might wanna consider buying yourself a nice board, with a boardbag that is suited for traveling, and bring it back here. Although it's a bad idea to buy a brand new board when you're only a beginer, it's something I'd advise you to think about...

well

in november its 17C°/63F° wetsuit needed. if u care, its not the best season to surf there, which means its not that high (but it shouldn'y bother u if youre just learnin). the best tip u can get is just practice, with comitment and all theres no reason for you to not be able to surf. just get a board and jump in the water, thats what we all did. plannin on comin back to israel? consider brigin a board wit you. have fun oh and btw if in any chance u get to meet joana from roxy team...tell her guy from ghana says hi
